What nicknames have your crew come up with?

  • My Discord mates and I were talking last night during a session and someone asked an interesting question that had us all laughing and making fun of each other by the end of it:

    What interesting or funny nicknames have you and/or your crew come up with for enemies, loot, weapons, tools, etc that you encounter in the game?

    Gold Skeletons - Clankers, Bots, Shinys
    Plant Skeletons - Salad Skellies, Leafies
    Chest of Sorrow - Crybabies, Sadboi
    Chest of Rage - Anger Management, Anger Issues, Madboi
    Ashen Winds - Spicy Tornado
    Ghost Fleet - Minty Tornado
    Skeleton Fleet - Bonerboats
    Trident of Dark Tides - Fishsticks, Disney Sticks, Bubble Wands
    Shadow Skeletons - Pervys, since you have to 'flash' them to make them vulnerable (thanks to my sister for that one)
    Brigantines - Fat Sloops
    Galleons - Bathtubs, Icebergs
    Bone Callers - Pokèballs
    Foul Bounty Skulls - "Fredvard" (I have no idea why, it's just what my buddy Goose calls them. Stacks them all along the railing next to the helm...)
    The sinking teleport thing that Skeleton Lords do - Skeleporting
    Umbra's Legends of the Sea - Wallies (presumably named after the Where's Waldo/Wally books, I guess?)
    Cursed Cannonballs - Cursies
    Shipwrecks - Fishwrecks (Lucy ignores the loot and takes a storage crate down to empty out the barrels EVERY time)

    I'm sure I've got more, those are just off the top of my head...

  • Skelly sloop = Skloops
    Skelly galleons = Skelleons
    Bone Caller = Bonerball
    The large rocks Ashen Lords throw in the air = Meatballs

  • Pringles cans

    BBQ
    Salt and vinegar
    Cheddar cheese

  • We still call skelly sloops spooky sloops, gold skellys are clankers too. Salads lol same. We call treasure chests carry chests. Keg Skellies are splodey boys. Disney sticks.

    I can't say what we call Flameheart. It's similar to a popular nickname for Shadowheart from Baldur's Gate too 😅
    Sea of Theives: Pirates.

  • lol...we call Keg Skellies "Skeggers" or "Ska-booms"

  • I got a few i love!

    Kegs - The plan!
    Plant skeles - Salad skeles as well
    All bait - Lunch
    Supply crates - Liability crates
    Athena escense jar/breath of the sea - The juice!
    Crates of tea - Iroh
    Sunken grove - Casa Bonita
    Servant of the flame - Amon

    My favorite being Liability crates cause if i ever find a supply crate after i board and kill some one, i load and throw their wood over and dont anchor them.

  • Old Faithful is either "Nope Faithful" or "Old Nopeful" since we almost always immediately vote down any voyages that have it as a destination. No one can accurately describe why we all seem to hate that island, but we do. We used to treat DTO the same way ("What's your least favorite Outpost and why is it Dagger Tooth??"), but with the addition of the Sovereigns and the sheer unwieldy size of Port Merrick public opinion on our Discord has started to shift on that.

    Obviously the uncharted island at K9 is Dog Island. I think everyone calls it that or something in the same vein. Mostly the uncharted island at N13 is just called "Oops" or some version of profanity once we inevitably run aground on the reefs accidentally like we stubbed our ship's toe on the coffee table on the dark...

    Briggsy is affectionately called "shutupshutupshutupshutupshutupshutup ...dear God why can't we skip this every time"

  • @thegrimpreacher
    occasionally I'll vote on the skull of siren song voyage and fire out of the cannon leaving my crewmate to have to listen to her.
